16 August, Chicago: Film Screening of “Fedayin: Georges Abdallah’s Fight”

Join us Friday at 6:30pm for a film screening of Fedayin: Georges Abdullah’s Fight w/ an introduction from Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network.

Fedayin traces the course of an indefatigable Arab Communist and fighter for Palestine. From the Palestinian refugee camps that shaped his conscience to international mobilizations for his release, this powerful film explores the situation of one of the longest-held political prisoners in Europe.

For over 35 years, Georges Ibrahim Abdallah has been imprisoned. A Lebanese communist engaged in resistance alongside Palestinian fighters, he has been imprisoned by the French judicial system and successive governments since 1984. Beyond the judicial harassment to which he has been subjected, this documentary film will trace the political course of Georges Abdallah and seeks to show how his ideas and struggle are still vital and necessary. Come through!
